You mean like how Obama shows up without cameras or when places are empty?

Get over it people, Presidents have been mingling with us commoners every election going way back. Kissing Babies, the old time train tours and the like. Personally, I would rather see a candidate do something charitable like what Ryan did.

I bet if there was a store next to the soup kitchen and Ryan went in there instead, we would be reading the headlines "Ryan ignores soup kitchen"

Absolutely. Send the secret service in an hour before to clear the place of hungry people before he shows up. They could surely skip another meal for such a great photo op. Plus, it would give Ryan an excuse to leave the public even he was at before it was actually over.

That this is even an issue is really ridiculous. We all know to what degree politicians will stoop before a major election. Ryan was most likely doing what he was advised to do by a frantic campaign advisor. I'm tired of all of the insignificant issues the media makes into huge issues. Politicians always take opportunities to use photo ops. I feel very sorry for our young children having to endure the immature antics of what's taking place in this election campaign.

RebekahELLE...I second that emotion, lol, How silly that they felt the need...I guess if they can keep our A.D.D. fast food culture stimulated with balogna, we may forget about the big "steak" stories,
